This week there was a house that burned down in downtown Etna. The man that lived there ran back inside to save his cats and died. Moral of the story? Don't own cats. They arrested the girl that was living downstairs. No one knows the whole story, but it's the local gossip. Not a lot to talk about here besides the crazy fires we are still having and the dead cat guy. It's much different than Utah, especially the upkeep of teeth. I never realized how big of a deal that is in Utah, then you get out here and it's not the highest priority. I keep having dreams that I lose mine. . . shudder. .
This last week we were teaching a gentleman with a mustache the first lesson, talking about priesthood and prophets when the member we brought with us said, "Mohammad Ali was a prophet, ya know. And the Koran is a form of scripture" . . . . . . . What?!?! That took our lesson for a turn. We moved on and the rest of the lesson went well. People love the fact that we have info about the Indians previous to Christopher Columbus.
Cool thing I learned in studies this week. I was reading about Christ being baptized and how he came to John. I opened up to map 11 in the back of the scriptures to see how far away he was from him, HE TRAVELED 90 MILES TO BE BAPTIZED! Holy pancakes! He could have told John to high-tale it up to Galilee, but he didn't. He went all the way down to John. CLEARLY baptism is important. Super cool. I love studying in the morning, I look forward to it. I get ready for the day as fast as I can just to have an extra twenty minutes or so to read the Book of Mormon. I LOVE THIS BOOK! I am in the beginning of Alma right now and I am still trying to get over Abinadi's death. So sad. :(Love ya like a love song! ew. . . Did I really just quote Selena Gomez?

Quote of the week from Etna - "My neighbors are THOSE kinds of people. Ya know, they do vitamins. . and. . Computers and taxes and stuff. . . . THOSE kinds of people. "
